Wayne, glad to hear that all the birds weren't wiped out last season. What's the earliest in the season that I can get into my spot up above the powerlines? My buddy Dan probably isn't coming out, so I may look at coming a little earlier this spring. I sure do like the warmer/drier weather and less crowding of early May though. Birds are definitely more call shy by then, but our group has always gotten at least 1 bird out of that section either around camp or above the powerlines. Hmmmm.

It'll be very interesting to see how the hunter #s change if they seperate and raise fees for turkey tags. I think the numbers will stay pretty high, since turkey hunting is very addictive. But I sure would like to see less crowds, especially on the west side. They definitely need to weed out some idiots statewide.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!
